| Preppers UK: Surviving Armageddon |
The first slate of programmes out of
Nat Geo’s new programming hub has been announced and includes a
formatted version of Doomsday Preppers and a series with actor and
former soccer hard man Vinnie Jones.
Three programmes from the content unit,
which is run by Hamish Mykura, were announced: Dubai: Ultimate
Airport, Vinnie Jones’ Toughest Russia and Preppers UK: Surviving
Armageddon.
The latter is a UK version of Nat Geo’s
hit US show, which is also shown on its various international
channels. The one-hour special will be produced by Bullseye TV, part
of Zodiak Media.
Vinnie Jones’ Toughest Russia shows
the titular host taking on some of the toughest jobs and lifestyles
in Russia, from bodyguard to policeman. It will be made by Scottish
indie Tern TV.

Dubai: Ultimate Airport is a ten-part
series from Arrow Media, the prodco set up by ex-Darlow Smithson
execs John Smithson, Tom Brisley and lain Pelling. The show goes
behind the scenes at the incredibly busy airport in question.
Mykura, the ex-Channel 4 head of
documentaries, joined Nat Geo late last year as EVP and head of
international content, NGCI and he promptly set up the London-based
international content hub. Several organisational changes were made
at Nat Geo last year following Fox taking full control of the TV
division.
Mykura said of the new slate: “From
capturing the tension and complexity of operating a very large,
dynamic airport to following Vinnie Jones’ quest to uncover the
grit and glory behind Russia’s toughest jobs, NGCI’s newly
commissioned programming slate offers viewers extraordinary access to
some of the world’s most remarkable people and places – all
delivered by some of the brightest producers in the field.”
